1983 Suzuki RM 80, another one completed. My apologies for stating that this was a 1985 in a previous post. This little ripper is heading off to a personal collection in the Southwestern US. As per usual this was a full restoration.

Afternoon, IMO this was the bike that changed the MX landscape forever. This is Mark’s 1980 Yamaha YZ 125. I purchased this bike and 13 others disassembled. With hard work and determination I have completed number 21 for 2026. As per usual this was completely restored.

Here are a couple of before and after photos of the latest completions. 1987 YZ 250 and 86 CR 250. The YZ was clearly in bad condition. The CR looked good, but once the bike was disassembled lots of issues were found.

After much delay, I can finally say the 87 Yamaha YZ 250 and 1986 Honda CR 250 are now done. These two bikes have been outfitted with Race Tech gold valving front and rear. Both motors were completely rebuilt. These bikes will be raced in the Australian MX circuit. A thank you goes out to Gerald for patience during the delays in getting these done.

Afternoon to the MX community. Today, I have Gerald’s 1986 Honda CR 250. This bike was built to customers specifications. Upgraded Race Tech gold valving suspension front and rear. This was a full restoration from end to end. This bike and the 87 YZ 250 are headed to Australia to be raced. I will post running video soon, I still don’t have the strength to start this bike, after my three level fusion of my spine. It’s still a struggle to get around, but the show must go on. Thank you for your understanding.

Please visit my website for lots of cool bikes I could restore on your behalf. New arrivals are 81 CR 250, 87 CR 250 and the very cool 82 YZ 100.
